LoL tell me bout it. the other night i was coming home from been out clubbing in the city n i couldn't have been more than 1km from my house when i was pulled over by an undercover, n i was thinkin "what the fuck? why's he pullin me over" i hadn't been speeding or nuthin. Any way comes up n i asked did i do nethin wrong n he says to me "depends, you kill ne1 tonite?" then he goes on to explain that a VT like mine was used in a drive by.

N i thought that my VL used to attract cops i thought have a newer car would get em off my back ... but now they wanna bring me in for murder.

Fuckin cops.

The 4wd monaro isn't on sale yet - the cops get their hands on that next year. They do however have a yellow HSV GTO in Melbourne - saw that a couple of weeks ago.

And the main cop cars here are Holden Commodores, and Ford Falcons - not much in the way of Subarus. There are a special of high profile cars used (a Volvo S60, Saab 9-5, a few HSV's, and a few WRX's), but there are only a few of these around and its pretty rare to see them on the road.

Re: police car?

I get followed home and shit all the time, they often pull me up. I keep getting followed for no shit 45 mins, going like 20 ks under the limit incase they pull shit out of their arse telling me that i am speeding. Fuckers. need to swear wen it comes to the piggies.

Re: police car?

I used to get hassled a lot when I was on P - Plates even though my car was a bog standard Datsun 1600.

I got done for speeding two weeks ago doing 120km/h on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway. I pulled over as soon as I saw the cop in the bushes point at me (my VP is no match for a VY SS) and waited.

He was an older bloke and I honestly answered I was watching the road and not the speedo (I never really do as I don't think it's safe to look at it all the time). He said that because I pulled over so quick he would knock it back to 109km/h meaning a saving of two demerit points and $75!

It really depends on the cop I reckon, I've known some real assholes (I grew up in Frankston in the nineties) but there are some good ones in there.

Yeah, they are mostly Holdens and Fords. There are also some Toyotas. Me thinks the Scooby Do's and Volvos, etc are used mainly in highway pursuit stuff, but I have seen a Scooby tryin to catch a stolen Porsche thru Melb's CBD. The new 4WD Holden wagons are goin in to the outback mainly. Apparently there are more unmarked cars coming out (Scoobys, Nissans, etc), like they had a couple of years back in the Hyundai Coupes (yes, Hyundais), but there are several unmarked Scoobys (not just WRXs) hunting around Melb.
PS, Scooby nil, Porsche nil, Chopper one.
